Lol, I love fast cars, but I've never been a fan of Vettes.

I like Corvettes, wouldn't own one but also put this sticker on my black car's bumper! hehe

It was originally Buick but Kirban did the repros. We also had the the one that said, "The Heartbeat Stops Here!" that I would put on the RR deck lid and UDLOSE on the third brake light. Ah, the mischief days of street racing.

I picked up a clean 98 Sierra yesterday. The seller described it needing a battery and radiator for $500. I took off work early the next day and picked it up. Wouldn’t start at the guys house with a new battery. Got home and got it started. Found it had no antifreeze. So I filled it with water to inspect further. When I pulled the dipstick I found water in the oil. Ran fine and had no noises. Not throwing any codes. I decided to take a gamble hoping it was the intake gasket. I am pretty sure and hope that the intake gaskets fix it! Ended up paying $400.

I will post some more pics once I get it cleaned up.

Oh forgot to mention the trailer lights and brakes had been chewed threw. So I took it pretty slow on the way home. First task of the day was to rewire the trailer.

Nice find! If it turns out it was just an intake gasket u got a steal!

After the second oil change it looks like it’s fixed!

When I drained the oil initially.

I got the 98 cleaned up and sold. Drove it a little over 100 miles. Intake gaskets were the fix!!! So I went and bought my next project.

2005 Tahoe 4.8 2wd LS. Has a few options but pretty basic. It was listed as having 261,*** miles. The cluster was set to kilometers. So it actually had 162k. Everything works just needs a good detail and wax. Does need some trim pieces here and there.



Took off the plasti dipped molding. Going to take off the rest of the dip on the wheels and bumper also.

A little progress on the 05 Tahoe.

Completed so far....
Factory 22s
Power washed carpet
New console lid
Oil pressure switch
Passenger mirror glass
Key
Key fob
Passenger Tail light
Plastic foot well cover by gas pedal
New steering wheel

Whoever installed the aftermarket CD player didn’t use any modules to retain onstar, chime or steering wheel controls. I replaced it with a factory radio that I had laying around that way everything works again.

Just took out the headliner. Not sure if I am going to tackle the headliner. A local place only wants $125.



The bumper was pushed in on the passenger side. Fixed that with a ratchet strap and a tree.

Also replaced the lower valance and fog lights.

Once the interior is done I will start on the paint. I will send it off for PDR and then a wax and polish.
